She Dies Tomorrow

Oh dear, oh dear... What did I just watch?

I sat down to watch the 2020 movie "She Dies Tomorrow", as I was initially lured in by the movie's title. Sure, I had no prior knowledge about the movie, nor did I know what it was about. But I liked the title and the movie's cover/poster, plus the fact that it was a new movie that I hadn't already seen also helped to convince me to sit down and watch writer and director Amy Seimetz's "She Dies Tomorrow".

Well, I didn't even make it halfway through, then I simply gave up on the movie out of immense boredom. This movie was abysmal to sit through. The storyline was just a random heap of... Well, you get my meaning here. And it was a massive swing and a miss in terms of managing to entertain me.

I am sure that the actors and actresses in the movie were doing adequate jobs, but I cared so little about the characters, given the fact that the storyline and plot was utter rubbish, so I didn't invest any interest in the pointless characters.

"She Dies Tomorrow" was boring and odd, but not in a good way or enjoyable odd. The movie was just downright strange.

My rating of the 2020 movie from writer and director Amy Seimetz lands on a mere one out of ten stars. This was seriously one of the most pointless and boring movies I have had the misfortune of stumbling upon in a long, long time. And I can honestly say that there is a snowball's chance in Hell of me returning to watch the rest of the movie.

I like visually interesting art house-ish type of stuff, but this was just boring with no pay off. It's just poor story telling. Save your time and skip this one.

It's like mixing the taste of a modern film student with the "can't write an ending" constipation of Stephen King. Only in this case there wasn't even an attempt at an ending.

This movie has an interesting premise. Beginning of the movie was good, but later on it lost its charm. Simply because there were never introduced the rules of what was happening. Filmmakers probably wanted it to be ambiguous, but it came across as not thought through. There is quite good buildup for the mystery of "dying tomorrow", but it has no payoff. The ideas that filmmakers are presenting to viewers aren't original or too much of thought provoking material. Overall, I was disappointed. Premise, cast, good reviews from critics - it was all for nothing in the end.

What if a sense of impending doom was transmittable? There. I just saved you 85 minutes.

There are no characters you care about, there aren't any deep interesting conversations, there aren't any events that take place. The promise of an atmosphere glimmers occasionally but nothing comes of it.

I think the cinematography was trying to be artsy but it came of as lazy. The main music choice that plays on repeat countless times is frankly absurd for a serious horror movie in 2020. However, that in addition to the editing, which had a downright comedic timing, make me think this is supposed to be a dark comedy. Either way it fails.

A short movie stretched to its absolute limits to get to feature length.

You could not pay me enough to watch this nothing burger again. Already, I can hardly believe I watched the whole thing...
